Tell us your device (say, iPhone 15 or iPad Air), the level you were on, and what happened. Screenshots help.
How do I play?
Tap element tiles to spell a word, then tap the check button to submit it. Each word lowers the singularity meter; let the meter fill and the level is over. Survive the shift to clear the level. ALBERT walks you through it the first time, and you can replay the walkthrough from How to Play on the main menu.
What's a nerd word?
Words from science, technology and fandom, like PHASER, QUARK or TARDIS, score ×π, and rarer ones ×τ. Words on the level's theme score ×e on top. From level 5 on, everyday words like CAT and RUN score a little less (÷φ), so reach for bigger ones.
What does a tile do?
The first time a new kind of tile lands in a level, a card explains it. If you've hidden a card with "Don't show this again", turn the tips back on in Settings under Tile Tips.
Where's my progress?
Your progress is saved on your device. Deleting the app deletes it, and it doesn't move between devices yet.
Leaderboards and achievements
They're coming in an update, and they'll use Apple Game Center. To take part, sign in to Game Center in your device's Settings. See our privacy policy for what Game Center shares.
The game didn't accept a real word
Tell us! Email the word, and where it's from if it's a nerd word (a show, a book, a field of science). We add words players send in.
Found a bug?
Email us with what you were doing when it happened. The more detail, the faster we can fix it.
